I doubt this could have “broken” loose. Probably a ROPer doing his thing for the space program.

Why not helicopters?Helicopters are too ugly. They'll frighten the blimp.

A device designed to gradually deflate the balloon did not appear to be working, according to the alert.

I live about ten miles from their tether point. I’m sure it floated right over my house.
I work form home and heard lots of sirens about then. We also had a brief power outage. I wonder if the tether snagged a power line.

laplata :" F-16s are flying around it. Why not helicopters?"
No helicopters because their 'down-draft' from rotors would bring it down to earth .
Why would they do that when they can float a balloon over citizens so that they know that they are 'protected' by Homelieland Security .
with advanced technology from 80 years ago !
Now ,... don't you feel more comfortaqble and secure ? /s

They want school buses off the roads because the cables are a foot thick and hanging.

F-16s are flying around it. Why not helicopters? "It is, according to the email, carrying defense equipment, although it wasnt immediately clear what type of equipment that might be."
i.e., because getting away from it fast is... important...
